In Japan, the new year began with a disaster as a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula (能登半岛) on the country’s western edge. More than 2,000 active fault lines(断层线) lie beneath Japan, making it one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world.
Many scientists have long considered earthquake forecasting to be impossible. But given recent improvements in artificial intelligence, some researchers have been studying whether that could change.
In 2023, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin increased such hopes for earthquake prediction with a seven-month trial in China. In all, the algorithm(算法) successfully forecast 14 earthquakes, each within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength. Meanwhile, it missed one quake and gave eight false warnings. The trial was part of an international AI-design competition, one of a few such events held in recent years to advance earthquake prediction technologies.
Sergey Fomel, a geoscientist at UT Austin and a member of the research team, says in a statement, “We’re not yet close to making predictions for anywhere in the world, but what we achieved tells us that what we thought was an impossible problem is solvable in principle.”
“Additionally, machine learning could help detect hidden patterns in data or collect more data to better inform earthquake forecasting,” Hutchison writes for MIT Technology Review. For example, some researchers are showing how AI might use recordings of a specific seismic(地震的) site to anticipate an earthquake’s magnitude. One team has built and trained neural networks to predict where aftershocks may occur after an initial strike. And others are using machine learning to identify and extract seismic waves—the vibrations that spread through the earth during tectonic activity(构造活动)—from other noises in the ground.

答案： 1. B 推理判断题。第一段介绍了日本发生的一次地震以及日本多地震的原因,第二段则提出主题,由于人工智能的进步,一些研究人员认为地震很难预测这种情况会有所改变;结合下文内容可知,下文主要介绍了一项以人工智能算法为基础的地震预测实验,即本文主要探讨了人工智能应用于地震预测的可行性。由此可知,第一段的作用是引入话题。
2. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But given recent improvements in artificial intelligence, some researchers have been studying whether that could change.”可知,人工智能的进步让一些研究人员对地震预测持乐观态度。
3. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In all, the algorithm successfully forecast 14 earthquakes, each within about 200 miles of where it estimated they would happen and at almost exactly the calculated strength.”可知,该算法总共成功预测了14次地震,且结果基本准确,由此可知,人工智能在地震预测方面很有前景。
4. B 主旨大意题。文章第一段引出话题,第二段点明文章主旨,后文主要说明了经过一项试验,研究人员发现人工智能在地震预测方面大有前途,他们也在利用人工智能来研究如何预测地震,故B项最适合作为文章标题。
